e2e_node: eviction: fix ImageGCNoEviction test

ImageGCNoEviction fails when tests run by kubetest2 as the test depends
on the prepulled test images (framework.TestContext.PrepullImages), but
kubetest2 --prepull-images command line option is set to false by
default.

Prepulling images explicitly for the only test that uses them
should fix the issue.
